All the President’s Tweets: News junkies would do well to take in the Discovery Channel’s “All the President’s Men Revisited” on Sunday. In addition to interviews with some of the key players in the Watergate story and President Richard Nixon’s fall, the documentary also examines how the news media landscape has changed and how, in the age of 24-hour news cycles and Twitter, Watergate might have been covered today.

Our guess: Deep Throat would have had his own Twitter account and CNN would have announced the arrest of a “dark-skinned” Nixon.
